Objective truth has been consistently sought for throughout human history. Unfortunately, when one interprets historical events, it is very hard to come-up with objective truth which in turn hinders the imposition of justice and order in a society. Even in everyday life, the lack of objective truth clouds one’s understanding, which results to confusion so that the root causes of a certain problem become vague and unsolved. Nevertheless, there are ways to arrive as close as possible to the objective truth. One of these ways is to perceive facts, historical events, and evidences from multiple perspectives. Yang’s ...

In order to define ‘economic development’, I have looked into the literature on the subject to subsidize my answer. I have looked particularly into the works of Acemoglu, Laibson, & List (2016) and Rahnama-Moghadam, Samavati, & Dilts (1995).

They claim there is some truth in these images but, nonetheless, there is a broad range of countries that are correctly described as being less developed. One country has not reached the known levels of financial well-being that ...
